General Information About the Contest
What is the contest?
The purpose of the contest is to highlight creative and original microwave measurement setups or procedures and to recognize one that is truly remarkable. There is no need to use the latest or most expensive equipment, only to have a good idea that presents a creative solution to an existing measurement problem. Ideas may include software, hardware, calibrations, and/or theory that focus on making the job of the bench-level engineer easier or more satisfying.
What is the prize?
$1000, provided by the Technical Coordinating Committee (TCC), part of the MTT Society Administrative Committee (ADCOM).
